About Me

My photo
Glen O'Brien
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
I'm married to Lynda and we have four children and two grandchildren. I live in Mernda just beyond Melbourne's northern limit. I serve as Associate Professor of Church History and Theology at Booth College, a Member Institute of the Sydney College of Divinity (I commute). I'm a Minister of the Word in the Uniting Church. I watch too many movies, especially classic Hollywood, and need to start thinking about alternative storage solutions for my DVDs. As for music, I like it all. iPod therefore I am. I am a book enthusiast with a growing collection of classic theology texts, paperbacks from the classic era of crime fiction and Silver and Bronze Age (1960s and 70s) comics.
